Labels

Some imprints are used almost exclusively for Scholz recordings. Conversely, if your release is on a bona fide label such as DG, Decca, EMI, Phillips and so on, you will never find Scholz recordings. However there are some reissue labels - Brilliant Classics is an example - where recordings with correct and fake attributions may be present on the same release, which can be confusing.

Real artists, names used (possibly) fraudulently

A few of these may in fact be the actual artists behind the music. In many cases the names are simply appropriated.

• Hans Swarovsky. Scholz's conducting professor, a real person with some genuine performances of his own on record, his name was also used by Scholz on recordings which he did not conduct.
• Hans Zanotelli. Another real person whose name was used.
• Hanspeter Gmür
• Bystrík Režucha. Conductor of the Slovenská filharmónia
• Martin Sieghart
• Zdeněk Košler. Conductor of the Česká filharmonie.
• Milan Horvat. Conductor of the Radio-Symphonieorchester Wien
• János Sándor

• Nürnberger Symphoniker
• London Festival Orchestra. Decca studio orchestra from the 1950s, often credited alongside Henry Adolph and Alberto Lizzio (see below). As their history prior to the Ross Pople era (1980s) is a little fuzzy, and given the quantity of fictitious artist names that follow the pattern “(something) Festival Orchestra” this may be at least semi-legitimate.
• Münchener Kammerorchester
• Münchner Philharmoniker
• Philharmonia Orchestra
• Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
• Camerata Salzburg
• Slovenská filharmónia. Not to be confused with the fictitious Philharmonia Slovenska.

“Fake” artists

Some of these are possibly real. More research is needed.

Conductors

• Henry Adolph.
• Cesare Cantieri.
• Eugen Duvier. Probably - needs further investigation.
• Alberto Lizzio. Wikipedia states that Scholz wrote a fictitious biography stating that this was his father.
• Carlo Pantelli. Again, no online photos or bios, recordings mostly with fictitious orchestra Philharmonia Slavonica
• Laurence Siegel.
• Serge Tchaikov.
• Denis Zsoltay.
• Hymisher Greenburg
• Simon Addison
• Francesco Macci
• Alexander von Pitamic

• Luigi Varese
• Paul Kantschieder
• Joseph Francek
• Peter Stern
• Herbert Fleischmann
• Alfred Gehardt

• Benjamin Yadin

Ensembles

• Süddeutsche Philharmonie (South German Philharmonic). This "was a short-lived pick-up ensemble assembled by Scholz from members of the Czech Philharmonic in Prague and the Bamberg Symphony around 1968".
• Norddeutsche Philharmonie. You can probably see the pattern here.
• Philharmonia Slavonica. According to one unsourced Wikipedia article, “the performances attributed to them are often by the Austrian Radio (ORF) Orchestra."
• Camerata Romana
• The European Philharmonic Orchestra
• The English Philharmonic Orchestra
• Musici di San Marco
• Tokyo Festival Orchestra
• Mozart Festival Orchestra
• Great Festival Orchestra
• London Festival Chorus
• Great Festival Chorus
• “Pro Arte Orchester” (similarly-named to Pro Arte Munich)
• Südwest-Studioorchester
• Baroque Festival Orchestra
• French National Radio Orchestra (compare “Orchestre National de France” / “French National Radio Broadcasting Orchestra”)
• Babelsberg Symphony Orchestra (compare “Deutsches Filmorchester Babelsberg/German Film Orchestra Babelsberg)
• Philharmonic Ensemble Pro Musica
• Royal Promenade Orchestra
• Orchestre de (du) Festival Belgique

Soloists

• M. Bergerich (piano). Apparently drawing on the name recognition of Martha Argerich
• Dieter Goldmann (piano). I can't find any biographical information about him, and he is a frequent performer on Scholz's recordings.
• Mario-Ratko Delorko (piano). Ratko Delorko is a real pianist, but I can’t find any reliable source for him having an omitted “Mario-” in his first name. This artist should probably be split (or the genuine Ratko Delorko should be added)
• Michael Rosengarten (piano)
• Maria Novak (piano)
• René Nuton (organ)
• Kamil Sreter (bassoon, horn)
• Sabine Lenz (bassoon)
• Björn Lundgren (piano)
• Daniel Gerard (piano)
• Svetlana Stanceva (piano)
